Update: McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds released this statement in response to Sen. Obama's acceptance speech: "Tonight, Americans witnessed a misleading speech that was fundamentally at odds with the meager record of Barack Obama. . . . The fact remains: Barack Obama is still not ready to be President."

Final Jeopardy answer: What is 10%? Question: The amount of his promises that Obama can deliver on.

Reality check.

I love the thought of Obama.

I just pray he can deliver.

At least third term abortions will be safe if Obama is elected.

Once again he delivered......A MOTIVALTIONAL SPEECH that is!!!-this is so pathetic-and ALL the newspapers and newscasts will say this speech will go down in history as one of the BEST Pol. speeches of the 21st Cen-Yawn!

Dems are going to go down-due to this arrogant motivational speaker-that's all he is!!!

For the very first time in my life I will give to the Democratic Campaign – I have not felt this energized for years! This is what our country has been wanting and needing for 8 long years! Long Live Obama!

obama has big ideas mccain likes to bicker over small meaningless topics like the size of the set and how popular someone is...isnt he suppose to be the wiser of the two?

Ha, ha, ha! Dream on...Obama is toast.

aware

Obama is the candidate of Chicago patronage politics! He obfuscates, prevaricates and equivocates with a spirit of hubris, arrogance and narcissism that is beyond belief!

Obama is Bush 2 Ultra! He wants to be "the decider" who will push his elitist far left-wing ideology on a moderate American people! :(

"No way, no how, no chance, no" Obama!

McCain is the candidate of authentic change we can really believe in! He has worked across the aisle and fought for issues that were not popular with his party or president but were good for the American people! :)

no substance

There was nothing new in this speech, not even the lies he told about John McCain. I really hope he's not our next President – please win John McCain.

I was really disappointed by that speech. It lack substance and came out sounding angry. I don't like McCain and am willing to crossover, but I am not hearing anything appealing.

How is he going to pay for all these government programs he is promising?

EXCEPTIONAL! C'mon McCain, top that!

I wonder if the 5% of middle income Americans that are facing tax increases under Obama know who they are.

If there are any doubters about Barack I hope this truly showed how intelligent and bright a shining star this man is. I am a black man but who cares I support this man cause he understands that no one people can prosper for this country to do well. We ALL must prosper for each other to do well. Thank you Barack!
